Bell launches next generation High Definition TV receiver capable of recording 200 hours of programming

Bell Canada today announced the
launch of its most advanced High Definition (HD) TV satellite receiver with an
integrated Personal Video Recorder (PVR). Available nationally, the 9242 HD
PVR Plus is capable of recording up to 30 hours of HD content and 200 hours of
standard definition (SD) programming, the most of any HD provider in Canada.

most advanced digital TV viewing experience" said Kevin Crull, President,
Bell Residential Services. "With picture quality 10 times better than regular
cable, the most HD channels available, and the best HD PVR, only Bell offers
